Indeed, Gmail rejected the list server's attempts to deliver it: Error: 552 5.7.0 This message was blocked because its content presents a potential security issue. Please visit https://support.google.com/mail/?p=BlockedMessage to review our message content and attachment content guidelines. a66si14491710pfb.91 - gsmtp If there hadn't been objections, this would be similar to CFJ 1905: https://faculty.washington.edu/kerim/nomic/cases/?1905 But slightly different, since the message was dropped by list subscribers' mail servers rather than the list server itself.

Given that you knew that it would likely cause a problem and that it is designed to be treated in the manner it was, I'm inclined to think that this would not have been effective. -- Publius Scribonius Scholasticus, Herald, Referee, Tailor, Pirate Champion, Badge of the Great Agoran Revival, Badge of the Salted Earth

Explanation for those curious: The attachment was the EICAR antivirus test file, which everything is supposed to treat as malware, but is really just a 68-byte text file. Gmail wouldn't even send it from my own account, which is why I had to use protonmail. The second attempt was because I realized I never specified a set of players to win on the first attempt, and because I realized I should probably bribe the Distributor. -- Jason Cobb
